In this show we're going to talk about how to Ride the Motivation Wave because the truth is, motivation isn't always there. We need to ride the wave and let momentum carry us forward when motivation is high. This is the best time to get things done, it's the best time to set goals, and make them happen. How about being productive at work or set your sights on something you've never done. We all know what it's like to feel extra motivated, and if you're lacking motivation this show can help offer tips and suggestions to help you out! 

It really is a challenging time when back to school rolls around. Our regular routines are all over the place, we just wrapped up summer time of late nights, bbq’s and friends over. The kids had a much different schedule as well.    But it’s time to get back in the swing of things, start our regular routines, create some new healthy habits, making school lunches and getting back to working out and eating right ourselves.   In this show we’re going to talk about how you can do just that, it’s time to get back on track and here is how!

Sad to see so much trash, it almost makes me emotional. Maybe more so because so few care. It’s not that there isn’t people picking it up, it’s that we consume too much.   We don’t consider less waste, we don’t think about passing on a container or bringing our own. And something as simple as commenting, liking or sharing a post like to raise awareness...we turn away and pretend we aren’t part of the problem or can't positively contribute.   This isn’t a far off destination, this is our backyard, this is our home, this is a destination many come to visit, enjoy and leave and don’t think about what we they left behind.   On top of that, we don’t consider our children, grandchildren and theirs to come by being conscious of what we’re using, buying and leaving behind.   What will come of our paradise? Where we travel, where will we enjoy a getaway and what about the people who call this paradise home?     

There is a clear connection between sleep and sugar, unfortunately most people don’t see this connection or don’t realize that sugar is preventing them from getting a restful night sleep.   If you look at it as sugar being a stimulant then it might help you understand why have sugar throughout the day and especially at night will keep you up or prevent you from getting into that deep REM sleep.   It’s important to pay attention to our daily habits, for example if you’re regularly having sugary drinks and snacks right before bed while you’re watching your favourite netflix series or a movie.    Changing your habits to healthier ones will certainly make a difference.     

There really is an Art to Reciprocation. Some may feel like it's common sense, but it's really not. Most people don't reciprocate for many reasons. Maybe they don't know how, maybe they don't know they aren't. Maybe they don't know they're in a one way relationship and can't figure out why they have issues developing life long friends or why they struggle with co-workers or business relationships. Reciprocation comes in many forms and it shows up in every day life no matter where you look. My point is, we need to reciprocate. We need to stop only thinking of ourselves and consider how someone else is doing, what they day is like and how we can help improve their day as well as ours.  Friends, family, intimate relationships, business connections...whatever you're looking to improve when it comes to a relationship, consider reciprocation at the root cause. We are either reciprocating or we aren't.

The fact of the matter is, Most weight gain happens throughout the summer. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. There is summer BBQ’s and vacations, there is camping, friends over, drinks outside and more.   This doesn’t happen for a week or two, it doesn’t even happen for a month or two. In most cases summer is around 4 months. Think about 4 months of not being in a regular routine, not making the best choices for your health.    Then if course we have appetizers, marsh-mellows, hotdogs and hamburgers, and what are we left with? Feeling terrible with ourselves and most of use experience weight gain by the end of the summer.    We can do something about it though, so tune in to learn all about how to beat summer weight gain!   

The Benefits of Being Consistent are endless really. We could think about just about anything and connect being consistent with results. If  you want to do well with exercise and nutrition, consistency is a must.   If you want to do well in business you can’t exactly work once in awhile, or generate sales every couple weeks to be successful.   When you look at meal planning or nutrition 98% of people that fall off their nutrition track, do so because they weren’t consistent with meal planning their week in advance.   If you’re not dropping those inches or feeling better about yourself through exercise, there’s a very good chance it has everything to do with how consistent you are at getting your workouts in.   Tune into this show to learn more about the Benefits of Being Consistent!   

I'm 46 years old, single father of 4 kids, from Kamloops BC. I moved to Calgary in 1999 for a job promotion and have been here in southern Alberta ever since.    I have been always active as a person being involved with sports like hockey, cycling, soccer, etc.. and enjoy the outdoors when I have time off from my job.    When I went through my divorce 3 years ago now, I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't like what I saw. With raising kids and being what I thought was a good marriage, I honestly let myself go a bit. So what better time than to get myself back into fitness.    It's been 19 months now straight going to the gym and not a drop of alcohol which was an accomplishment of it's own since I used to drink a case of beer every weekend I was home.
